Now you may be aware that Windows 7 has a new feature called Jump Lists. Just right-click and open window’s button on the taskbar, and a jumplist appears. You may be able to get screenshot’s of Paul’s site.

Now some applications would work wonderful, but some can’t. Tomboy for Windows is an awesome example. You can have the recent notes at the top and the new note, restore Tomboy, and Close buttons in it. Genius.

If you’re going self hosted, WordPress is a nightmare to transfer over FTP. I was looking up lightweight blogging php and found Chyrp as the first result. It is much better to try to transfer, and is putting WordPress’s self-hosted setup to shame. Just transfer, chmod, make database, create .htaccess that they tell you to fill with the right content, and input the info. It is very barren, but modules for comments and TinyMCE helped. The default theme is not as good as WordPress’, but change be changed. (unfortunately, most themes can’t work on Windows extraction because of the UNIX-ish folders.)

If you want self-hosted, go with Chyrp. If you can’t, then WordPress.com is for you.

Linux didn’t go down without a fight though, and I missed it. It first started by Midori crashing and killing foomatic, then Firefox started typing backards. Then it killed my bookmarks. Evolution was puking on mail, and Tomboy thought I had no free disk space.

I missed the Mono poster children. I loved F-Spot, Tomboy, and MonoDevelop. I loved Dillo, Evolution, and Liferea. I loved the freedom of choice in theming.

I shut down Ubuntu and reboot into Windows. Thank goodness I installed through Wubi, and backed up with my new Gmail account.

I have the sudden urge to make Tomboy for Windows. Not exactly a port, but close or similar.

Is it just me, or it? Python is getting to be really popular, like VB, and anyone with a little effort can make a program with it. It’s widespread, it’s popular, like VB. It’s slow like VB. Unlike VB, developers take Python seriously when it’s a toy language!
